Drip - Ride

[Bigwolf]

The drip: Some weeks ago I noticed a spot on the garage floor.  Since I am always working on something out there, I wiped it up and thought no more of it.  A few days later I noticed another nearly identical spot....right in the area I had just moved my Valk out of.  So a quick check .... found oil all over the lower left fork.  I read up on it, made a seal cleaning tool from a thin piece of plastic, scraped the seal and hey!  It seemed to work.

The ride: Wednesday was chilly but I had time and wanted to ride.  I have been thinking of Mac's Veteran's Day gathering and some ride routes that I might possibly show to a few other riders.  Now I also wanted to give the bike a workout to see if my seal fix was going to hold up.
I got up around 7am but fooled around until after 9 before pulling on my electro gear (heated liners) and backing the fat girl out of the garage.

I rolled up 120 miles.  It took 2 1/2 hours to make this part of the loop I am considering.  There were a couple of miles here and there that were just too rough to keep in the plan, but hey, that's why I wanted to ride it now.  Altogether I enjoyed this ride along farms, fields, creeks, rivers and lakes.

See you at Mac's Veteran's Day gathering.

I'd order up some forks seals, fork oil and bushings to have on hand

I reside 10 miles north of Cookeville, TN.  This "ride" took me thru Granville, Gainsboro, along Roaring River, and over to Rickman, TN.

Concerning the forks, I hope to install a set of Progressive springs next summer.  I plan to do a full rebuild along with spring change.
